I know the cereal scene is iconic, but the "a man named Henry Gale" moment is still chilling

Would this scene, imagined for this character, make sense?

I finished *Lost* two days ago.



As someone who LOVED the flash-sideways, I initially really missed having a scene where Ben remembers everything.



But then I started thinking: he would remember the island—and specifically moments with Alex—but their relationship was always terrible, not to mention how it ended.



So, it was actually for the best that they didn't include a specific scene of him remembering, right?

Lost "LA X" 601-602 Production Script Online

The season 6 premiere production script written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse is on scripthive.com for those looking for new scripts of Lost. You need to make an account. It's been there for a while and I don't see it being shared anywhere else. Makes me wonder if any other scripts are buried deep in the internet...

In episode 18 of season 1 it is stated that Hurley is the majority shareholder in a box company, I think it's the same box company in which John Locke worked.

In Defense of the show LOST: Every Mystery Explained, Ending Explained, Addressing the Criticisms.

>Disclaimer: This post is not written by an Ai chat bot and there are spoilers here for every season.

LOST 🏝️✈️is a very popular show and is considered one of the greatest and most influential shows of all time. It wasn't a show, it was an obsession, This is the show that millennials were loosing their mind over.

Sick Poster made by me😎✌️

It's probably the most influential non-HBO show of the century.

But when criticizing Lost a very popular criticism is that the show left many unanswered questions to us, as the questions kept piling up, but did it? I wanted to see if this criticism is even valid.

I'm not saying Lost shouldn't be criticized; I'm just thinking some of the things it's criticized for are extremely unfair and the same does not happen to any other show like they were making it up as they go along or how most of the criticisms are about the things that aren't even true about the show itself. and people are very confident with some of these takes like blaming JJ Abrams who wrote just 3 episodes of the show.

There is so much miss-information about the show online. But then again this is show is unlike any other. You can send this post to someone who got lost watching the show.

Yes this post is defending Lost for the most part but I acknowledge it wasn't perfect, I'm aware of the flaws of the show but they aren't exactly the same as what other's think they are.

This post is not for dismissing any criticism that comes towards the show.

>Out of the lost explanations on show online, This is one of the longest because of being detailed but if you ignore the links will still take the least amount of time to get through. It goes deeper than the Mariana Trench honestly. The Show is like an iceberg where you get deeper and deeper.

This could've been a like 2 hr video but you know I wanted it to be interactable and not an info download moment, So i made the post and thought hmmmm, How about I do almost everything that a Reddit post can do and not do a half job.

# SPOILERS !! ⚠️- DO NOT GO THROUGH THIS POST IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE SHOW. THIS IS ONLY MEANT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FINISHED THE SHOW

If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend the show for sure.

This is gonna be a long post, where you can literally get lost in between the links.

Btw, I've never seen a show which creates so many mysteries like, Lost is such an enigma, this is one of the most confusing & complex shows of all time up there with Game Of Thrones,Dark & Twin Peaks. This is a long show, You cannot explain it all in one paragraph like a movie like Mulholland Drive or The Sixth Sense for example.

Lost is deeper and wider than any show, I have put out many links here but this is my reading of the show, I did mention when I'm talking about my theories.

# YOU CAN IGNORE THE LINKS IF YOU JUST WANT EXPLANATIONS AND DON'T WANT TO DELVE TO A LOST RABBIT HOLE, I ADDED THEM FOR MORE CLARITY

or funny easter eggs lol maybe try avoiding or finding them....

The post is somewhat long so you should save it or copy the link.

|What's considered canon here is the show plus|
|:-|
|• The Lost Experience (Semi Canon)⭐ (if you don't know what lost experience is watch this)- Inside A Mind - Lost Experience The backstory revelations from The Lost Experience about the Hanso Foundation, DHARMA Initiative and Valenzetti Equation are all 100% canon, being written and provided by Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof themselves but not the overall story like all the comic con and detective stuff by Rachael Blake isn't .|

So now the title is every lost mystery explained but there are some very few unsolved mysteries that are truly just left for imagination that I don't wanna use my head cannonor fan theory, Obviously There will be spoilers in full detail from every season but before that for people who haven't seen the show, The show has definitely held up the test of time and it's worth watching 20 years later.

|So mysteries will be categorized in colors so|
|:-|
|🟢Solved- Just straight up solved.|
|🟡Implied - Also solved but not specifically told to, but it is expected from the viewers to get them because the clues are given in the show itself. You just have to watch the show carefully. A lot of the so-called "unsolved mysteries" are here, but they aren't actually unsolved. I'll explain the reasons too, So if anything that hasn't been told to us but can be solved by watching the show carefully will be here. If you don't like my explanation, just tell me. Note that I'm being as critical as I can be here even though I love this show.|
|🔵 External sources needed - maybe the epilogue or One quick Google search required. like the ones listed above. (like what's written in Hieroglyphs for example).|
|🔴 Unsolved- left to speculation, left so open in the air that everything we speculate will just be speculation with no solid proof but it can have a very logical explanation that makes sense. These are the actual unsolved mysteries. So just see red and that's an unsolved mystery. This post is just for talking about Lost generally, these down below are for mysteries.|

This main post is more about Lost and it's legacy etc and my opinion tackling some criticisms of the show and the finale, for mysteries only go to these, I'm almost not using any of my own theories for the show and I've mentioned when I do, the posts are mostly based on explaining the plot itself from the show, the show has enough pieces left to make your own grander mythology.

# So now, Before talking about the unsolved mysteries we have to Explain The Ending -

Jack meets his dad, Many people get confused here -
[https://youtu.be/dL26K6T3IOw](https://youtu.be/dL26K6T3IOw)

Lost was losing some viewers since 2008 writer's strike, It was still really popular but not at it's peak, However the finale itself got insane [viewership](https://youtu.be/pF9z2X9e8DY?si=TtmtdVB5qg4Opo2D).

So everyone who had maybe not seen this show for years tuned in to watch that double final episode. And they were the easiest people to be misdirected, **they thought that everyone were dead from episode 1**.

One of these people is The God of Procrastination himself - George RR Martin . he also said they were dead the whole time. George R.R. Martin thinks endings are important (as long as he's not writing them)

https://reddit.com/link/1wavniw/video/0mo4gr6n4coh1/player

& it doesn't help that after Jack closes his eye there's a scene of the empty beach with all their tents but they weren't present, but everything people will describe as not having happened was in flash sideways, other than that everything did happen.

No matter how many times I watch the final scenes I can never say to myself that what I'm seeing is a bad episode, It isn't really doing anything against the themes that it started with from episode 1.

What I think is that show stayed true to its themes, On a rewatch i noticed that almost all the themes of this show that were set up from episode 1 were still present in season 6.

All the people who were lost got to meet their loved ones one last time so they don't die alone like Jack said & everyone moved on and made peace.

Jack found his purpose, every struggle of everyone throughout centuries all led up for Jack to save the world and his life ended with a purpose fulfilled and seeing his friends leave the island. When Jack became a man of faith, he had a stronger belief in it than Locke; he was more confident.

It succeeded to give a fitting resolution and a deserved closure to the characters we invested in. Sayid was the only one who's arc I kinda think they did not execute perfectly.

If the characters had never met each other, they probably never would have forgiven themselves for their past doings. If they hadn't spent that time on the Island with each other, they never would have redeemed themselves and come to a level of self-awareness and forgiveness.

# Matthew Fox pretty much cleared this on [Jimmy Kimmel](https://youtu.be/fGRuaMBv59k?si=6o3JR5EbAbGVVJVE)

[Jimmy Fallon however](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxxfj0NHgG4)

# The simplest explanation for the ending is

It was real, everything happened, they did crash on a real island, everything you'd describe not having happened is the flash sideways from season 6, The second timeline is a place where our characters, who are ready to go to the afterlife, have gathered. Not all characters appear there cause they aren't ready to go.

This is a place where everyone regardless of their beliefs are present, Although it is purgatory I think the Buddhist concept of "Bardo" is a bit closer although it adds non buddhist elements as well , Because in bardo momentum pushes the soul forward whether it is ready or not,it lasts 49 days, photons don't experience time which is the reason this flash sideways is beyond time, So The characters could move on whenever they wanted to, So it's a new unique vision and very different from Bardo too basically.

Again this is not necessarily an afterlife, it's just a place made for them, after the source takes them in maybe there's no rebirth, heaven/hell after all.

For example, we never see Richard in The Flash Sideways, because he's most likely with Isabella in a 19th century version of Flash Sideways; he didn't have anyone, he needed her love to move on together, a place where they could be for one more time. There might be infinite Flash Sideways, of characters from various perspectives,

So Yes there is one for Man In Black, Mother & Jacob, For Aaron because he was not a baby his whole life lol, Also might be another one from the point of view of the mother before Jacob & MIB were ever born.
